*morphmapedgestolineoffset

Maps selected morph volume edges to the specified lines.

Syntax

*morphmapedgestolineoffset user_mark_id line_list node_list use_symmetry use_constraints project vector_id number_of_mid_handles offset

Type

HyperMesh Tcl Modify

Description

This command will fit (evenly distribute) or project (along a vector or normal to the line) the handles on the marked morph volume edges to a line calculated from the specified lines and nodes. If an offset is specified and nproj is not set to 2, the edges will be offset from the given line.

Inputs

user_mark_id: The ID of the user mark containing the morph edges. Valid values are 0-3.
line_list: The ID of the list containing the input lines. Valid values are 1 and 2.
node_list: The ID of the list containing the input nodes.Valid values are 1 and 2.
use_symmetry: 0 - Do not use symmetry links; 1 - Use symmetry links
use_constraints: 0 - Do not use constraints; 1 - Use constraints
project: 0 or 10 - Project along vector defined by vector_id; 1 or 11 - Project normal to line; 2 or 12 - Fit to line; If offset is non-zero, the offset will be measured from the closest point on the line for values of 0 and 1. The offset will be measured along the projection vector or normal for values of 10 and 11. Offsets will not be applied for a value of 2.
vector_id: The ID of vector created using *createvector for the projection direction. Must be set to 1.
number_of_mid_handles: -1 - Do not change the handles on the edges; 0 – 5 - Update the number of mid-handles on the edges to this number
offset: The distance to offset nodes from the target. Not used if project is 2.; The offset will be measured from the closest point on the line for values of project of 0 and 1. The offset will be measured along the projection vector normal for values of project of 10 and 11.

Examples

To map edges on mark 0 to a line along a vector with offset of 1.2 and leaving the handles unchanged:

*morphmanageedgemark 0 0 3
*morphmanageedgemark 2 0 1
*morphmanageedgemark 4 0 1
*createlist lines 1
*createlist nodes 1
*createvector 1 1.0 0.0 0.0
*morphmapedgestolineoffset 0 1 1 1 1 0 1 -1 1.2
*morphmanageedgemark 0 0 3

To map edges on mark 1 to a line along the line normal with 3 mid-handles per edge:

*morphmanageedgemark 0 1 3
*morphmanageedgemark 2 1 1
*morphmanageedgemark 4 1 1
*createlist lines 1
*createlist nodes 1
*createvector 1 1.0 0.0 0.0
*morphmapedgestolineoffset 1 1 1 1 1 1 1 3 0.0
*morphmanageedgemark 0 1 3

Errors

Incorrect usage results in a Tcl error. To detect errors, you can use the catch command:

if { [ catch {command_name...} ] } {
   # Handle error
}
